A Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) employee warned an acquaintance to stay clear of an area in central Stockholm on Saturday where, several hours later, two explosions went off in what is being called a terrorist attack.

Wikipedia

Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå reported that a member of the Swedish Armed Forces warned an acquaintance to keep away from Drottninggatan several hours ahead of the bombings.[24]

The message read, "If you can, avoid Drottninggatan today. A lot can happen there...just so you know."[25]

The Swedish Armed Forces denied having any prior knowledge of the attack but promised to investigate the matter further.[26] The Security Service launched an independent investigation.[27] Later, the newspaper Expressen reported that several sources with insight in the investigation claimed a second government employee had information about the bombing ahead of time.[28]

Reporting current affairs concerning Sweden, Israel and the Jews, making underreported issues available for the non-Swedish speaking world.

...

Yet, according to Magnus Ranstorp, Sweden’s leading terrorist expert and professor at the Defense College in Stockholm, the trips made to London and Jordan seem to point towards a distinct possibility that the man was not alone in planning the act. This belief is further strengthened by the advanced pipe bombs found at the scene and the intended dual explosion. Multiple explosions have been carried out in the past, one example being the notorious Palestinian attack in Jerusalem’s Zion Square in 2001 which killed more than a dozen people and left many more maimed and injured, including rescue personnel.

I wonder why Magnus Ranstorp chose that particular event, in downtown Jerusalem - out of all of the other possible events he could have compared it to. Quite a lot of people were injured there too, apparently, - 188 according to whoever edits Wikipedia.

Curioser and curioser ....

Email threat

About ten minutes before the explosions, a threatening email was sent to the Swedish Security Service and the Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå (TT). The letter referred in particular to the presence of Swedish troops in Afghanistan and the Swedish artist Lars Vilks' drawings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog.

From the publication of Lars Vilks' cartoons in the Swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda on 18.8.2007 to the Stockholm event on 11.12.2010 is an interval of :

On 29 October 2004, CNN reported that Al Jazeera had, allegedly, broadcast a new video message, reportedly from Osama Bin Laden, who died years before, referred to as "Your freedom is in your hands", in which CNN reports that Sweden is mentioned as not deserving of an attack:

Now more than ever, it is time for Sweden to wake up and realize that Sweden is not safe from the terrorist phenomenon which plagues the world today. In fact, no country which harbors a large unassimilated Muslim population is immune from these attacks.

Hopefully, as a result of this failed terror attack Swedish leaders who have been in denial will now see the threat and react appropriately. It’s time to take active steps towards halting Swedish governmental financial support for terror-linked organizations, and to stop providing a safe haven for terrorists in Sweden.

Operation Guava was a terrorist investigation led by WMCTU into the activities of a number of individuals who were suspected of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in the run up to Christmas 2010. Twelve individuals were arrested under the terrorism act, of whom nine were subsequently changed with conspiring to cause explosions and Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 as well as additional charges under Section 58 of the terrorism Act for some of the group. This investigation is scheduled for trial in 2012.

I've just watched Die Hard: With A Vengeance for the first time and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in 9/11 and all that followed, if only for the plot line and it's relevance to this thread and because it was mentioned in the Operation Rhyme script.

Quote:

Fred Schiller: These people don't like to work anonymously. They want you to know who's doing it to you.

“a group of powerful elites from various countries gathered at an international conference in Jerusalem to promote and exploit the idea of ‘international terrorism.’ The (Jerusalem) conference (on International Terrorism, or JCIT) established the ideological foundations for the ‘war on terror.’ JCIT’s defining theme was that international terrorism constituted an organized political movement whose ultimate origin was in the Soviet Union. All terrorist groups were ultimately products of, and could be traced back to, this single source, which—according to the JCIT—provided financial, military, and logistical assistance to disparate terrorist movements around the globe. The mortal danger to Western security and democracy posed by the worldwide scope of this international terrorist movement required an appropriate worldwide anti-terrorism offensive, consisting of the mutual coordination of Western military intelligence services.” [29]

...

Among prominent individuals who participated were Menachem Begin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Shimon Peres, and George Bush Sr. (The aforementioned anti-détente, pro-Cold War group associated with the policies of Senator Henry Jackson are well known to be Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Elliot Abrams, Douglas Feith, Robert Kagan, Charles Horner, and James Woolsey, to name a few.) [31]

...

Importantly, Paull’s thesis includes the entire list of the JCIT participants, many of them intimately connected to the 1976 Team B assault on National Intelligence Estimates and to CPD. Participants from the United States at this conference, arranged by Benjamin Netanyahu and George Bush Sr., were neoconservative organizers Norman Podhoretz and his wife Midge Decter (CPD), Senator John Danforth, Professor Joseph Bishop, General George Keegan (Team B), Ray Cline (former CIA deputy director who had assisted with Operation Northwoods, and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies), Jack Kemp (CPD), Lane Kirkland (CPD’s connection to the AFL-CIO), journalist George Will, nuclear physicist and staunch Cold War hawk Edward Teller, Richard Pipes (Team B, CPD), Bayard Rustin (CPD’s connection to the A. Philip Randolph Institute), Professor Thomas Schelling (RAND), Ben Wattenberg (CPD), Claire Sterling, and Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson. Participants also came from Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, West Germany, Canada, Ireland, and the largest contingency was comprised of Israeli military, government, and intelligence service personnel. The bulk of the international representatives not from Israel and the US were media propagandists long connected to covert operations.[32]

[31]. All are members of the Project for the New American Century and are current or former Bush administration officials or advisors. Charles Horner, along with other PNAC members Daniel Pipes, Stephen Hadley, Kenneth Adelman, and Peter Rodman, and CPD members Kenneth Jensen, John Moore, and Robert Turner—as well as Caspar Weinberger and many other pro-interventionists—created and/or serve or have served on the board of the United States Institute of Peace. (Hadley, Pipes, and Adelman are also CPD members.) This compelled me to design an independent peace studies program, as USIP funds the majority of peace and conflict studies graduate programs in the US, and sends out annual surveys to its recipients.

Ah, the good old days of CPD's Soviet "death beam" - too many radicalising comics by far...

Back to the film:

"Simon" says, this and that must happen or else bombs will go off for "non-compliance", but it's all cover for a massive gold heist at the New York Federal reserve bank.

Bombs on the tube train, bombs in the school and bombs on a boat.

The bombs are all made out of binary liquid explosives, and mentioned as that too, with the first explosion at Bonwit & Teller's, founded by the German chap, Paul Bonwit, which Simon says, is "just to get your attention", going off at 49 = 7x7 seconds into the film.

The Atlas Missile program was named after the Atlas Corporation, the contractor through its Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, (later Convair) subsidiary, which was used in the Mercury missions to send astronauts into orbit.

See: The fictional UK Red Mercury plot created out of thin air, by Murdoch's News of the World in cahoots with Mi5.

Which might just explain why that department store was chosen as the site of the first explosion.

This theme might also explain why there is so much (to me) obvious finger pointing back to Bush. Then again, if the LaRouche line is considered, then maybe, birds of a feather ....

Quote:

Simon:

Birds of a feather flock together
So do pigs and swine
Rats and mice have their chance
As will as I have mine.

Samuel L. Jackson's character, Zeus, is the Good Samaritan who gets enraged each time a white man calls him "bro", is also an electrican who jumps the ticket barrier at Wall Street tube as he hurries to answer the pay phone that Simon will ring at a certain time, while Lt McClane is searching the train carriages to find the binary liquids bomb before it goes bang. Zeus is confonted by a very nervous, young, rookie cop who pulls his gun, threatening to shoot the Good Samaritan, if he doesn't put the phone down, because he jumped over the ticket barrier. Ring any bells ...

As he entered the platform, the station clock already shows, 10:19:10, so he has only 49 = 7x7, whole seconds left until the bomb on the train will explode at 10:20 am

In one, telling piece of dialogue, Lt McClane has a sudden realisation, due to the distinction between the previous bombs and the one that just went off in the underground.

The first bomb in the litter bin didn't actually exist, because Simon did not say "Simon says" and the next suitcase binary liquids bomb in the park was disarmed by McClane working out a maths logic problem using gallons of water.

So if Simon doesn't say, "Simon says", it turns out to be a hoax. The bombs are only real if Simon says, "Simon says" ....

McClane realises that although Simon is playing a game with him, for killing his brother, Simon actually intended the bomb on the tube to go off, regardless.

Quote:

That bomb was going to go off no matter what, he wanted it to go off. Right down there.

Interesting message.

The bomb is triggered by the wheel of the carriage going over two wire contacts on the rail which in turn triggers a radio device that triggers the bomb.

There's also a shot of the reversed 911 etched on the police station communications dept., glass door, from the rear, so it looks exactly as it should all along, a 911 in reverse - showing as it should be = 119

The bomb disposal man at the school, Charley, trying to defuse a (fake) binary liquids bomb, hidden inside a large refridgerator, even says:

Quote:

It's not rigged. Pull it.

The fridge shows a temperature of 42 degrees F, (7+7+7 + 7+7+7 > 777 777) and was delivered at 10.30 am that morning.

1030 = 911 + 119

About the (fake) bomb in the children's school, Simon, in his broken German accent, says:

Quote:

I have put 2400 pounds of explosives in one of the 1446 schools in center New York.

A few kids were hiding in their classroom and were locked in by the school janitor.

The villains also rob the New York federal reserve of their gold, as per 9/11, having just blown up the underground at Wall St Station with the binary liquids bomb that McClane manages to find and throw out of the tube carriage before it explodes. The gold is carried off in large dump trucks through tunnels.

The background music played during the heist scenes is "The Runaway Train"...

There are shots of the twin towers and the WTC93 event is mentioned too.

There are various quizzes on-line about this film, one asking about the number plate of the yellow cab that the good guys hijacked to get across New York to Wall Street Station, something I made a note of too:

The license plate reads "2T 94"

Well, 94 = 77 + P7 > 777 and I wondered if the 2T bit is meant to be interpreted as "2 times" as in 2 x 94 = 188 and > 777 777

Inside tube train No 3 that is about to go bang, there are various posters advertising volunteer organisations, the supposed "real" subject of the Bush-41, 1000 Points of Light statement and it's subsequent Points of Light Foundation and it's successor, the Points of Light Institute.

The ambulance that is requested from Roosevelt Hospital, to carve a route through the NYC traffic, even has a licence plate of "AF 9142".

One of the clues Simon gives to the location of the distracting (fake) bomb in the school is by asking:

Quote:

Simon: "Ask yourself this question: What's 21 out of 42?"

42 = 7+7+7 + 7+7+7

21 = 7+7+7

2142 = ( 9 x 119 ) + ( 9 x 119 )

Somehow, read the script, or better, watch the film, Zeus ends up at the Yankees Stadium where the villains have a marksman in the stand aiming a rifle at Zeus as he looks for a bomb. They take orders from their boss on the radio as the marksman asks whether he should shoot Zeus, the Good Samaritan, or not.

Quote:

At the Yankee's stadium:

Marksman: Now?

Villain: No, there's only one of them.

Marksman: Yes or no? Yes or no?

Boss: No! We'll follow him.

Zeus picks up a child's toy from Seat Number 1.

The toy is one of those ball bearing skill puzzles, where you have to balance it to get all the ball bearings in the holes and it has American football players on it in a very obvious, Masonic Compass design.

When Zeus, the Good Samaritan, turns the game over there is a label on the reverse, saying "Game Over".

The villains do not follow Zeus and the trip to the Yankee Stadium is, for me, difficult to understand as no basis is given for it, other than it being "a wild goose chase".

So I'm left wondering why that scene was included and what it was all about, other than there being no need to kill the Good Samaritan because there is only one of him and the possible allusion, via, the death of Billy Martin on Christmas Day, to the birth of Christ and the Game Over duality with the bomb not being found and Christianity and possibly the obvious symbol of the Masons.

Other than that, unless I've missed something, the entire diversion is a complete red herring. Maybe that's the point.

There's a couple of references to Donald Trump who demolished the bankrupt Bonwit & Teller store to build his Trump Tower.

There's also a couple of references to Father Christmas & St Nicholas - not all in the on-line script, a possible reference to Jesus.

There's much more work to do on other numbers in the film, it's allegories and it's "event" timings.

For example: in the 11th minute after 9am Zeus says:

Quote:

Zeus: [It's] 10 after 9. Why aren't you in school?

There is also a huge theme centred around Aspirin, developed by IG Farben-Bayer. This may well be an allegorical reference to Zyklon B.

A more obvious contender could be Clinton's cruise missiles fired into the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, just to make him look rather stupid of course and sold to us as an "aspirin" factory, when in fact it produced many more important medicines.

The cruise missile strike on 20.8.1998 was reportedely in retaliation to the bombing of the US embassies in Africa on 7.8.1998 - the 8th anniversary of Bush-41's Desert Shield, which annoyed the central psyop character, known as Tim Osman. Allegedly.

The message was that your President can't do anything about it when Americans are attacked by "terrorists."

The cruise missile event on the aspirin factory on 20.8.1998 marked the 1119 th day before 1.11.9 < US date format in reverse Y.DD.M

A clearer "signal", I cannot imagine...

In one scene in DH:WAV, Simon calls McClane and relates the following nursery rhyme / riddle:

"What she's saying is ridiculous," she said last night. "It's a complete lie and very painful to have to deal with. All I want is to see the people who killed Jean punished."

The alleged victim contacted police in London three weeks ago after she saw a picture of Mr de Menezes on the TV news. She told them: "I think that's the man who raped me".

Forensic specialists are now comparing his DNA against a sample taken on the night of the rape. A result is expected in the next couple of weeks.

Mr de Menezes, 27, was shot dead shortly after he boarded a train at Stockwell Tube Station on July 22 last year. Armed officers wrongly identified him as 21/7 bombing suspect Hussein Osman and he was shot in the head seven times.

The woman, who is in her early 20s, reported her claims against de Menezes to a West End Police Station.

She said that she had been stunned when she saw a picture of de Menezes because he bore such a resemblance to the rapist. But there is no explanation as to why she did not come forward last summer when his picture was first published.

She told police she was out on New Year's Eve 2002 with friends in London's West End when she became separated from the group. She claims she started talking to two men who then picked her up in a car.

She said the next thing she could remember was that she was in a hotel room being raped by a man who looked like de Menezes.

She told officers that after her ordeal she fled the hotel and tried to find her friends. She made her way back to the nightclub where she told staff.

She reported the incident to police at the time and DNA swabs were taken.

She said that the man who raped her had a Mediterranean complexion and a foreign accent.

But last night de Menezes' girlfriend Adriana - who dated him for five years before his death and spent several months living with him in London - said the claims were ridiculous.

Speaking from her home in Sao Paolo she said: "Jean's family have been through enough already with out having to cope with this now. I just don't understand why she's gone to the police and said he was involved. It's absurd."

Shop worker Adriana, 32, added: "Jean Charles was always the perfect gentlemen with me. He was always respectful towards me and my women friends. There were never any problems. I'm quite happy to speak to police if they want to speak to me.

"Not a day goes by when I don't think about Jean. I don't speak often to his family because they live far from me.

"But I follow everything that's said on the news about him and the investigation into his death.

"All I want is to see that investigation reach its end and the people who killed Jean punished."

When the woman contacted police three weeks ago to say she believed de Menezes was the rapist, officers from Scotland Yard got in touch with chiefs looking into the fatal shooting. Officers said that because of the sensitive nature of the allegation nothing could happen until the woman made a formal statement. Ten days ago she went to a police station to make her official complaint.

DNA swabs taken from the victim at the time of the attack are now being tested for a match against Mr de Menezes' DNA.

A police source said: "This woman's claims came like a bolt out of the blue. It's quite awkward, as the de Menezes incident was one of the most embarrassing and tragic events in the force's history.

"The Met are between a rock and a hard place ... they have to investigate all allegations of sexual assault but this claim is against a man who was tragically shot dead by officers by accident.

"Now this allegation has been reported officers have to investigate it and take it seriously. It makes it all look too convenient for the Met to take the heat off of the service and the commissioner." Mr de Menezes first came to London in March 2002 aiming for a "better life". His shooting caused an outrage amid allegations of a cover-up by Scotland Yard and commissioner Sir Ian Blair, who has been fighting to save his job ever since. It has been claimed that Special Branch officers altered documents after the shooting in a bid to dodge blame.

Prime Minister Tony Blair last week offered his "deepest regrets" for the tragedy in front of Brazilian President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said last night: "The victim of a rape in the West End of London more than three years ago contacted us earlier this year and provided the name of an alleged suspect.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission and the family's solicitor are being kept informed of the inquiry.

In February 2006, a woman claimed to police that a man who resembled Menezes had attacked her in a hotel room on New Year's Eve 2002 in west London. Scotland Yard spent several weeks investigating the claim.[112]

After the claim was made public in March 2006, the Menezes family denied the allegation and claimed that the Metropolitan Police were trying to smear Menezes.[113]

Although the family initially denied the request, a blood sample was eventually taken with their permission from Menezes' autopsy. On 25 April 2006 Scotland Yard announced that forensic tests on the sample had cleared Menezes.[114]

De Menezes family furious over Met 'sex smear' on son
By Sophie Goodchild, Chief Reporter

Sunday 12 March 2006

Scotland Yard was at the centre of a new row over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes following allegations that he was the suspect in a rape case.

It has emerged that the 27-year-old electrician, gunned down by armed officers at Stockwell Tube station, is being linked with a sex attack in London.

Officers have contacted lawyers acting for the dead man's family to ask for permission to examine DNA samples taken after his death. These are understood to be held by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) which has been investigating the shooting and has also been contacted by the Metropolitan Police.

The inquiry is in response to a call, more than six months after the Brazilian's death, from a rape victim who named Mr de Menezes as her attacker.

Sources close to his family have reacted with fury to the allegations. They accuse the Metropolitan police of deliberately leaking the details of the rape inquiry in an attempt to deflect attention from the investigation into the shooting of Mr de Menezes, who was mistaken for a terrorist by armed officers.

His relatives are already pursuing a complaint against Sir Ian Blair, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police who, they allege, misled the public in the wake of the shooting.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is also considering whether to bring charges against the officers involved in the death of Mr de Menezes.

A source told The Independent on Sunday: "This is a deliberate attempt to deflect the blame. First [the police] tried to say he was a terrorist and now this... he is no longer here to defend himself."

Last night, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that inquiries were continuing into the alleged rape, which happened in the West End of London.

The Met said in a statement: "The victim of a rape in the West End more than three years ago contacted us earlier this year and provided the name of a suspect. The name was given as that of Jean Charles de Menezes... and inquiries are continuing."

Mr de Menezes was shot dead by armed officers on 22 July, the day after the failed copycat bombings on the London Underground. Eyewitness accounts of the shooting initially suggested that the Brazilian electrician was a suicide bomber - an impression the police did not try to alter.

Surveillance officers searching for Hussein Osman, who was allegedly involved in the failed bombings, had been staking out the flats in Tulse Hill from which Mr de Menezes emerged.

The Independent on Sunday last month revealed that the IPCC report alleges police tried to fake evidence relating to the killing by altering the police log. According to the report an officer outside the flats wrongly identified Mr de Menezesas Osman and firearms officers were dispatched to stop him. Once it was known an innocent man had been killed, the log was altered so that instead of reading "it was Osman", it read "it was not Osman".

First of all, the dd.mm of the false event on 31.12.2002 is always suspicious.

Be aware that those inclined to combine numeric characters, although not strictly numerology, but certainly not date arithmetic either, might well see 31.12 as the number 3112 :

When you're in the business of death, global domination, murder and mayhem and blaming all of that on some fictitious outfit, I suppose a little skulduggery within the project schedule is a trifling matter and should be expected:

The DHWAV-UK film script post, has been updated with important source information on the Jonathan Institute / JCIT conference and the relevance of the film's NYC lottery number - 7479, the long lingering shots of the police badge number - 6991 and it's dialogue and McClane's 7479 Access Number.

Many people have long held suspicions about the death of old school Labourite, John Smith, to make way for the NWO friendly Fabians, under the disgusting, war mongering, vainglorious sycophant, Princess Bliar.

If you've been paying attention, you might have noticed a possible problem with the root dates of the DHWAV-UK, Jihad and Fatwah, given that the earliest of them, DHWAV-UK only goes back to 18.8.1995

So what about pre August 1995 events you may ask ?

If you've really been paying attention, you will know that DHWAV-UK forms a convenient bridge to Bush-41 and it is my contention that is why it has been used as a root date for events post August 1995.

DHWAV-UK's root date is of course Bush-41 and is described fully here.

The phrase is traditionally credited to his speech writer, Peggy Noonan. That may well be the case, but it's (publicly declared) roots seem to be in the CS Lewis book, from the Narnia series, The Magicians Nephew, but all that, is not for now.

If you've really, really been paying attention, then you will have noticed that CS Lewis died on the same day that JFK was ritually murdered, live on TV, on 22.11.1963

It is my contention that the 1000 Points of Light speech marked the dawn of the Bush-41 and affiliates, New World Order and all that goes with that.

After "much adolescent fumbling" as someone recently characterised "the early years" to me, they finally got their act together, with a planned and structured worldwide pogrom, based on a psyop using the Jihad as a basis for all the "planned new normals" that we have so far witnessed and all the rest to come.

The script and the film Die Hard: With A Vengeance, provides a very apposite, allegorical framework for the required "terrorism" events we have all subsequently witnessed.

I contend that the UK release date of the film, DHWAV-UK = 18.8.1995, provides the necessary numeric bridge to all things Bush-41 and his 1000 PoL speech, thus rendering another layer to cover the real root date for future events in the "attack matrix", whilst remaining hidden from those further down the pyramid, who, as usual, only need to know so much.

So, whenever you see the DHWAV-UK link, think 777 to Bush-41 and his chums, sponsors and "dual use" partners and beneficiaries...

So what has all this got to do with the, non-NWO friendly, most definitely future PM, John Smith, after the long awaited, final rejection of the long overstaying Tories, because that was defintitely going to happen, right ?

I mean, whatever Rupert says, the British "electorate" actually do, right ?

From Bush 1000 PoL on 18.8.1988 to the death of John Smith on 12.5.1994 is:

Smith was appointed Shadow Chancellor by Neil Kinnock in July 1987 after Party's general election defeat. However, he suffered a heart attack whilst Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer on 9 October 1988 and was forced to spend three months away from Westminster to recover. On that occasion, he had complained of chest pains the night before, and had to be persuaded to cancel a flight to London so he could go to hospital for a check up. He was examined at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by an ECG. The doctor who examined him said "Whatever it is, we don't think it is your heart". Then Smith suddenly collapsed and was briefly unconscious before coming around. He spent three days in intensive care before leaving hospital on 20 October 1988, to make a full recovery.

From John Smith's first "heart attack", or not, on 9.10.1988 to his death from a 2nd "heart attack" on 12.5.1994 is:

You may well be unaware of this particular Special Branch / Mi5 production, as it preceded 9/11, in the days when the CIA/ MI6 / ISI database of freelance terrorists, Al Q, was only starting to become ingrained in the public consciousness and the only "terrorism" that the UK was witnessing, was that allegedly attributed to the "troubles" in Northern Ireland.

That particular "strategy of tension" was "wound down", just in time as it happens, as it was about to be replaced with the new globalised version that we have all since witnessed and presumably, have been terrorised by. The reflected glory of bringing about peace in Northern Ireland was taken, naturally, by Princess Tony, albeit with a few hefty reminder events as if to hurry it along the way.

It is both amazing and revealing, verging on the literally, incredible, I would say, that "peace in Northern Ireland" could be "brokered" after 30 odd years of "who is bombing who", in the training ground that was Northern Ireland, just when there were about to be more pressing matters to attend to.

Things, apparently, could only get better ...

Quote:

Throughout the six-week Birmingham trial, prosecutors admitted that they had no evidence to suggest that either defendant was a member of any terrorist organisation.

Quote:

February 2002 - Operation Large - Trial report - see J7 link

Colman Treacy QC, prosecuting, told the court there was no indication the duo, both Muslims of Bangladeshi origin, were part of a terrorist organisation. There was also no indication of their intended target.

Quote:

February 2002 - The Times

Although there is no apparent link or affiliation between Abedin and the al-Qaeda terrorist network headed by Osama bin Laden ...

We now know that the first Al-Qaida-related plot against the UK was the one we discovered and disrupted in November 2000 in Birmingham. A British citizen is currently serving a long prison sentence for plotting to detonate a large bomb in the UK.

Let there be no doubt about this: the international terrorist threat to this country is not new.

It began before Iraq, before Afghanistan, and before 9/11.

You will search for eons on t'interwebs and all you will find is that the "discovery" was from a "tip off" and "information received" ...

Whilst the good Lady's effort and helpful emphasis for the chronologically challenged, is impressive from the head of an intelligence outfit, she might have been better advised to have got her "facts" straight instead.

The chap serving a long prison sentence wasn't convicted for "plotting" anything actually, as both defendants, if you can call both of them "defendants", were mysteriously acquitted on the conspiracy charge, because otherwise, that would have meant that Mi5's Mostafa, would have had to have been found guilty of the conspiracy charge too and we couldn't have had that now could we ....

Unless, of course the Crown could have proved that the hapless Mr Abedin was conspiring with himself...

I can tell the hon. Gentleman that we know now that the first AQ-related conspiracy plot in this country was in 2000, and that was in Birmingham.

So, that's officially on the Hansard record on 15.1.2007 from yet another "dodgy Doctor" ...

I mean, there's misleading the House John and John, there's misleading the House, especially after you, as Head of the Home Department, were humiliatingly forced to inform the House about a previous piece of, "dodgy information received" and promulgated in the Home Office fiction that was the July7 "narrative", regarding the mythical Luton train time fairytale, but I guess you were only "acting", on "information received" eh John ...

Did we ever find out where the "information received" actually came from, regarding the "ghost train from Luton" and the "phantom witnesses" to the ghost train from Luton on July 7th, and the phantom inquiry the police were supposed to launch as to the origins of the "ghost train" fairytale ?

No. Thought not.

DAC Peter Clarke giving "evidence" at the July 7 Inquest in February 2011. He is asked a question about a "prestigious lecture" he gave on 24.4.2007.

Operation Large is mentioned in the context of "home grown" terrorism and Clarke almost chokes on it ...

Quote:

From the "forensic" theatrical production and cosy chat that they had the nerve to call the July 7th Inquest:

Q. May I ask you, first of all, about a speech that you made -- you may know that I'm going to ask you about this -- in 2007, when you commented on the state of play in 2002 in relation to awareness of terrorist threat. This was quite a prestigious lecture you gave and I'm sure your words were carefully chosen. May I read to you what I suggest you said:

"In 2002, the perception was that, if there was a threat to the UK, its origins were overseas. The spectre of a home-grown terrorist threat was not yet with us."

Now, may I follow the normal rules and ask you if you said that?

A. I did say that, yes.

Q. Thank you. It seems to apply to agencies in the plural and, therefore, to include the police and the Security Services, is that right?

A. Well, inevitably, I can only speak for myself, but I was reflecting, obviously, the discussions and what I believed to be the perception at that time, yes.

Q. 2002 is when you came into post in a counter-terrorism role?

A. That's correct.

Q. Why did you say that then, please?

A. I said that because I was contrasting the position with that which we had reached by 2007 when I gave that lecture.

Q. Do you have any thoughts or understanding about why it was that that was the state of play in 2002?

A. Why the perception was that the threat came from -- if you could read the sentence back to me. The perception was that the threat came from overseas?

Q. Yes, of course: "The perception was that, if there was a threat to the UK, its origins were overseas. The spectre of a home-grown terrorist threat was not yet with us." Why was that the perception in 2002?

A. That was the perception in 2002 and, indeed, into part of 2003, because the focus of our investigations at that time was particularly on a very large network of Islamists, who were not British citizens, many of whom had motivations which were related to their countries of origin, and it wasn't clear whether or not they presented a threat to the United Kingdom. It did become clear, in 2003, that, in fact, they did present a very clear terrorist threat to the United Kingdom, even though they were not British citizens.

Q. Right. I'm seeking to address the home-grown threat that is UK-born terrorists to the United Kingdom, do you follow? That's what I'm seeking to address.

A. Yes.

Q. There had been, in the year 2000, a successful preemption of a bomb plot in the UK involving Islamist terrorism in the Midlands. Do you recollect this? Operation Large, July 2000, when a bomb factory was apprehended, as it were, before anything further could be done. Do you recollect that?

A. I was aware of that case, yes.

Q. I mean, that plainly was Islamist terrorism aimed at the UK, wasn't it?

[EMERGENCY !]

A. But if you are relating my comments from that lecture, Mr O'Connor, you will see the title of the lecture was "Learning from experience: counter-terrorism in the United Kingdom since 9/11 2001".

Q. Yes, and you were addressing that when talking about the state of play in 2002. Absolutely right. But there had been this incident in 2000, which surely was a wake-up call, wasn't it?

A. I can't say whether it was a wake-up call to those who were dealing with that case at that time or not. I was not.

Q. All right.

LADY JUSTICE HALLETT: So were the extremists in Birmingham home-grown?

A. I would have to -- it depends, my Lady, upon one's definition of "home-grown", and I don't want to get into the theology of this, but there's an awful lot of debate at the moment as to what is "home-grown". Is it somebody who's born in a particular country, then is radicalised elsewhere and then attacks somewhere else, or is born somewhere, then moves somewhere else and attacks? It all gets very complicated.[doesn't it just] If, in this context, we take it to mean British citizens who, for whatever reason, and through whatever course, then end up with an intention to attack the United Kingdom, I can certainly talk about cases since 2002, but here and now I can't recall whether the people involved in Operation Large in 2000 were British citizens or not.

Phew, that was close ....

Mr Patrick O'Connor then steps back in to save the day after Lady Justice Hallett's dangerous line of questioning, to divert DAC Clarke away for the glaring contradictions from the Operation Large dialogue and it's subsequent use as both the UK's first Al Q plot and it's belated use as a "wake up call" to the "threat of homegrown terrorists", but only a wake up call to "post 9/11", homegrown terrorists you understand and anyway, it depends what you mean by homegrown terorrists, I'd never even heard of the "covenant of security" me Lady, oh and it was nothing to do with me either, erm, me Lady ...

It was a wake up call but we didn't really need to wake up to the obvious wake up call, because it wasn't a wake up call at the time because Operation Large wasn't designed to be a wake up call and we only thought to use it as a wake up call after we woke up to fact that we needed to have a wake up call to the threat of homegrown terrorism, the actual wake up call came years later....and it was only then that we realised we'd missed the opportunity to call it a wake up call but anyway they might not have been homegrown terrorists because we grew one of them ourselves and anyway, the "homegrown terrorism" wake up call was on a different alarm clock that takes years to go off ....as and when we need it ....

"Squirming on an unimaginable scale"™, as DAC Clarke suffers from "indigestion" after almost being forced to swallow his own words from his lecture in direct contradiction to what the secret state, specifically, Jonathan Evans, subsequently claimed about Operation Large, as it tries to sell it's mythical slice of "homegrown terrorist cake" and is almost forced to eat it too ...

Q. And you will want us to bear that in mind. I'm going to try to just pursue the examples through in terms of time order and I suggest the first in time actually is a domestic one, but the others are not. In broad terms, can you confirm that, in July 2000, the Security Service in something called Operation Large intercepted, in the metaphorical sense, an Islamist bomb factory in Birmingham?

A. I can.

Q. That is, granted its location, quite likely, though not certainly, to have been aimed at United Kingdom targets?

A. That's what we believed, but we don't know.

We don't know, according to "G", whoever he/she is in February 2011 ....

Operation Large is a hugely significant case.

Operation Large was a drama that I contend, was deliberately manufactured for the sole purpose of providing the propagandists and story tellers with a terroristic, "ace in the hole", some years hence, as a contingent measure to counter the predictable and planned for, howls of "blowback", that were ringing in ever increasing volume in the ears of the itinerant, war mongering, politico marionettes and their secret state puppeteers.

I have written about this case before and most recently here in relation to it's use as the "ace in the hole" by none less that the former head of Mi5, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller during her landmark speech at Queen Mary's College, London on 9.11.2006.

Dame Eliza was not the first to produce the Operation Large ace trump from up her spooky sleeve however. That priviledge was granted to Dr John Reid, a former incumbent on Bliar's production line of Home Secretaries, who publicly revealed the same trump card just three days after the airport scanner promotion that was the Binary Liquid Bombs nonsense at Heathrow on 9 & 10 August 2006

He had, allegedly, privately confessed the same to Holly Finch on 25 July 2006.

In between telling us all about "plots" that had alegedly been "foiled" that none if us ever get to hear about, until the time is right to tell us, the esteemed Doctor slipped this to the ever reliable repeaters at the BBC:

Mr Reid also said the government believes the first al-Qaeda plot in the UK was in 2000 in Birmingham, preceding the war in Iraq and the 9/11 attacks.

As a muffling device, the rather belated, "ace in the hole" worked perfectly as planned. What possible counter argument could there be to, "ah but they started their "terrorism" before we even dropped a single ounce of uranium on their kith and kin in Afghanistan of Iraq ?".

I think it is quite revealing that they chose the ridiculous, manufactured Heathrow airport scanner marketing event, to reveal their metaphoric smothering, silencing blanket, as it provides an insight into the pressure that they were feeling over that particluar nonsense and the cumulative cynicism for which that fiasco proved to be an outlet for.

One poster, who according to the good Doctor Reid, was evidently one of those folk "who just don't get it", quite succinctly put it on this forum on the very day:

Quote:

Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.

Mr. Blair, we don't buy this nonsense anymore.

Haven't you heard?

Great message, aimed at the wrong target, as it wasn't the trumped up double glazing salesman that was authoring or producing the plays.

Maybe the trigger to play the card was the reflected humiliation of nursing mothers being forced to test their own baby's milk in front of "airport security", or maybe it was just a "psychological tell", as the stink from Heathrow in August 2006 seemed to reach the ears, eyes and noses, of all but the willfully deaf and blind anosmiacs and that stink was the looming trump of the public's consciousness that called for the secret state's, secret ace (sssh it's secret) to be played, before the odour that accompanies such detritus became unbearable, thus rendering the Operation Large "ace card", unplayable.

You may well ask, as many did at the time, why had it taken the state five or six years to reveal something that they had clearly known about all along ?

No answer to that question was forthcoming. One can only imagine the possible "official" answers and all would lead to incompetence at the very least.

The other possibility is the one that I posit.

Operation Large was quite obviously known about all along, as it was a bright shining point of light on the CV of Dame Eliza's assistant, Jonathan Evans, as it was reported that he had "managed" the entire case back in November 2000.

Mr Evans, 49, was in charge of the first counter-terrorist investigation in Britain to target al-Qaeda.

He was assistant director of international counter-terrorism in 2000 when MI5 and West Midlands Police uncovered a plot by a Bangladeshi born man, later found to be connected with al-Qaeda, to cause an explosion. Moinul Abedin, from Birmingham, was sentenced in February 2002 to 20 years in prison.

MI5 regards the Birmingham case as the first evidence of al-Qaeda activity in Britain.

Mr Evans’s experience of dealing with al-Qaeda in this country was one of the principal reasons he was chosen to succeed Dame Eliza.

Discounting a bout of collective amnesia, the only logical conclusion to draw, is that it's use as a trump card, was being preserved for the right moment and it was decided that the right moment was the fantastic, "binary liquids" bomb theatricals at Heathrow.

In a way, I suppose you can't blame them for playing it then really, as the Heathrow nonsense was plumbing new depths of ridiculous fantasy, even for the fantasists I suspect.

It is also revealing to realise that the Operation Large trump card wasn't played on the more obvious stage that was London in July 2005, when real bombs went off and real people were sacrificed. That was when the War of Terror really penetrated the UK's conciousness and with the concomitant cries of "blowback" emanating from the usual "shepherds of truth" subsequently infecting their flocks, who had irresistably and rather lazily been drawn into the entire Al Q paradigm, surely the stage was set for the secret state's "ace trump", Operation Large, to to be played.

So why wasn't it played back then ?.

Mi5's Dame Eliza and her replacement Joanathan Evans at least both knew about it - that is an indisputable fact of life and yet both kept it secretly hidden, from the public at least, tucked up inside their diabolical spooky sleeves.

Why ?

Needs must ? A time and a place ? Maybe the "heat" from real dead people wasn't hot enough ? The whispers of "foreign policy blowback" began on the day of September 11th, but maybe they weren't loud enough yet in the UK. Maybe it was because they knew there was more to come and such a valuable trump card should be preserved at all costs, to be played at the exact moment when it would be most effective at quelling the howls of "blowback" and thereby alter the direction and mood of the suppliant herd, whilst reinforcing the original Al Q lies.

Regardless of what I contend, nobody can argue against the plain and simple fact, that at least the secret state was aware and for absolute certainty, that Jonathan Evans was aware and possibly even some in the government too, knew about Operation Large and yet waited almost six years after the initial arrests and over four years after the singular conviction to tell us all about, in their words, "the UK's first Al Q case."

Think and work it out.

You could of course argue against my position, that Operation Large was manufactured, but from reading the few reports of the case, I think there's a good chance, that you might change your mind.

Background to Operation Large - November 2000

Having read the reports and posts linked above and searched the internet for Moinul Abedin, Dr Faisal Mostafa, Birmingham November 2000, you should have some idea of what the case was all about. If not you might like to contact Jonathan Evans at Mi5 as he will definitely be your best source.

My summary of Operation Large:

Dr Faisal Mostafa

Before getting into the events of Operation Large in November 2000, it is necessary to know about the "known knowns" of Dr Faisal Mostafa.

Andrew Gilligan in the Evening Standard on 1st August 2005 reported that Mostafa was "a former community manager of the Darul Uloom school in Birmingham."

Quote:

November 2000 arrest - Operation Large

At Halesowen police station, where he was taken and questioned, Mostafa was alleged to have told an officer:

"I've been a fool. You'd think I'd know better after the last time."

"Last time" was on 3rd February 1995 when Mostafa was arrested along with two others in a joint Special Branch / Mi5 operation. All three were charged with conspiring to cause explosions while Mostafa faced a further charge of the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life

The firearm was reported to have been bought from a notorious Moss Side gangster, who was later shot dead.

In February 1995 when the Special Branch searched Mostafa's home, they found watches adapted as timers, electronic egg timers, igniters, various chemicals, guns, barrels, rounds of ammunition, shotgun cartridges, bullet heads, rifle primers, explosives of various sorts, a bullet-proof vest and £1,600 pair of night-sight binoculars and documents which showed how to make explosive devices, "radical Muslim newsletters", diagrams of a 20lb explosive device being placed by the roadside, a 'shopping list' of chemicals to make bombs and another list showing how supplies for homemade bombs could be found at chemists, garden shops and hardware stores.

By August 1997 he was out of prison. We know this because on 15th August 1997, Dr Faisal Mostafa posted a message on a Google Groups "explosives" message board as follows. I assume it was he, because if you look there you will see his student email address at stud.umist.ac.uk

YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE THAT THE FBI, CIA, M15, MOSSAD,SPECIAL BRANCH (HI INSPECTOR CLOUGH) ARE WATCHING YOU. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE RELATIVE CALM OF DEMOCRACY WE ARE WATCHED!. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE MET THEM AND WELL LETS SAY HAD A VERY LONG DISCUSSION WITH THEM REGARDING EXPLOSIVES AND OTHER TOPICS.

DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.

TAKE THIS FROM SOMEONE WITH REAL EXPERIANCE. IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE AND FREE THAN TO BE BEHIND BARS FOR 16-25 YEARS OR MORE.

CMefindU - Aug 28 1997, 7:00 am

Amen !!!

Make a note of the date - 15.8.1997 - it's important.

What to make of that crucial message, which seems to have been used as the publicly declared reason for triggering Operation Large.

Assuming Faisal Mostafa had not been out of prison for long and to post a message such as this after being cleared of explosive charges reeks to high heaven.

He was sentenced to 4 years on 27.3.1996 after being arrested on 3.2.1995. I don't know if he was remanded or got bail and have no idea when he was released from "wherever he went".

The "explosive message" also throws his, "oh dear I've been a fool" statements into sharp perspective.

Security sources told the Sunday Mercury that agencies had kept an eye on his activities after he was released culminating in his arrest in Birmingham.

Moinul Abedin

Moinul Abedin was a Bangladeshi waiter and petty criminal who was involved in various low level crime like credit card scams, opening a bank account using a forged identity and was linked to a group producing false driving licences using shared business premises.

Abedin had failed to appear in court on a summons for driving without insurance and so was wanted by the police. He said those involved in the car business used different identities to avoid paying tax and VAT, which is why, he said he was using a false identity.

Abedin's brother was being taught chemistry by Dr Mostafa at the Jami Mosque in Small Heath, Birmingham which is how Abedin and Mostafa had met.

Lets make some fireworks

Abedin says he was approached by Mostafa with a scheme to make fireworks, as Mostafa knew how to make the explosive substance which they referred to as Mostafa's gunpowder and that they had talked about opening a shop and making some money.

Mostafa said he was led astray by Adedin with the idea and should have known better, "after the last time."

Anyway, whoever's idea it was, the pair procured ingredients for the manufacture of fireworks, some of which were found in a house Abedin rented and others in a lock up rented in his name.

This was the basis for the Special Branch and Mi5 to launch Operation Large in November 2000.

Operation Large

Reports on the case are comparitively few vis the volumous messages we get nowadays whenever a so called Al Q production opens.

I enquired about the trial transcripts and was told the case was "sensitive".

On 15 November, two black rubbish bags were seized from outside Abedin's rented house and were found to have traces of explosives on latex gloves, packaging for electrical items, chemical substances, packaging for tools and traces of a granular powder which later turned out to be HMTD.

It was this evidence that was used as the basis for the arrests, which were made on 17 November 2000.

Subsequent finds in Abedin's rented house included five home-made detonators, further ingredients to make HMTD, along with overalls, filter papers and other equipment for manufacturing home-made explosives, large quantities of surgical gloves, packages for chemicals including sodium chlorate (weedkiller), sulphuric acid, sulphur and lead azide, plus tools and face masks.

Yet another incriminating note found under the bed ...

Quote:

Stockport Express 15th February 2002

Doc 'enjoyed making explosives'

...

Earlier, the court heard a note aspiring to become a martyr and marrying a Mujahedin was found under the bed of Mr Abedin's bed.

When shown the note, the defendant said: "I do not recall what was there and what was not there." Mr Abedin added he did not believe he wrote the words on the document.

When Dr Mostafa was arrested at New Street station, he was carrying four computer disks containing the requisite "terrorist publications", you know the ones made in America, the Mujahideen Explosives Handbook, 'Guerilla's Arsenal: Advanced Techniques for Making Explosives and Time Delay Bombs'.

'I've got a lovely family and I do this for someone I hardly know and now I could go to prison. This is very serious. He's used me because of my knowledge. What do you think I should do?'

Later police found traces of the explosive HMTD chemical on his pinstripe jacket and green anorak that he was wearing.

On November 21, both Abedin and Mr Mostafa were jointly charged with unlawfully and maliciously conspiring to cause, by an explosive substances, an explosion likely to endanger property or life and doing an act with intent to cause an explosion and possessing explosive substances between October 1st and November 18th 2000

HMTD is an extremely hazardous primary high explosive, very sensitive to ignition by flame, heat, spark and friction and the 70kg seized from the lockup was reported to be only the second recorded bulk recovery of HMTD on the UK mainland.

It is not made clear in any of the trial reports where this "bulk seizure of HMTD" originated from. It is certainly not stated that Abedin manufactured it. Only the implication is there. Neither do we get to hear Abedin's response to the 70Kg of HMTD in court or from his defence counsel, Malcolm Bishop QC, who even has the trial listed on his CV as, "first ever Al Qaeda trial in UK". I wonder when that was updated...

Abedin told the court that he and his co-defendant were not plotting to make bombs, but intended to start a fireworks business.

Unfortunately for Abedin at least, the trial began in the post 9/11 frenzy in January 2002.

Both were acquitted on the conspiracy charge, the second time that Dr Faisal Mostafa had been cleared on exactly the same charges.

How the jury could have been persuaded that Moinul Abedin was the main protagonist can only be due to the "presentation" of the case in court. Maybe it was a straightforward case of there being no case to answer on the conspiracy charge, thereby forcing the acquittal of both and if there was no conspiracy then the traces of explosives and terrorist manuals in Mostafa's possession might have been rendered irrelevant.

Both were cleared of explosive possession charges too.

If there are any wealthy benefactors out there, trial transcription costs will run into thousands of pounds, such is the perilous state of our fledgling and fragile democracy and that's only if the trial Judge, The Hon. Mr Justice Hughes and / or the Lord Chancellor deign to give permission.

The situation is particularly anachronistic, given that tax payers fund the entire system and have therefore already paid for the police operation, Mi5's operation, the trial and it's players, the prisons etc etc and yet, if anyone of us wants to find out about what exactly went on in the court, you have to go begging for permission from at least the trial Judge and then, even if you are lucky, which you won't be in "sensitive cases", will have to fork out exhorbitant transcription fees yourself.

I suggested I could sit in a quiet corner and transcribe them myself and even that was denied. I'd have to ask the Judge. Why ? The trial was held in open court, which anyone could have turned up to and witnessed first hand. So why the secrecy and protection after the event ?

Something very smelly and rotten with all of that and the situation needs changing.

Mostafa was clearly relieved when the not guilty verdict was delivered and sobbed 'I can't believe it' as he left the dock.

Crocodile tears me thinks.

Moinul Abedin however, was convicted on 27 February 2002 of committing an act with intent to cause an explosion.

He was sentenced to 20 years.

I bet he "couldn't believe it" either.

Postscript

The teflon, Dr Faisal Mostafa, popped up again in July 2008 when he was arrested at Manchester Airport as he was about to board an Emirates jet bound for Bangladesh with a gun and bullets in his possession.

Remember that this is now way past 9/11 in a terroristically charged UK security environment, especially at airports, where boarding an aircraft with a dodgy CD / DVD will land you in court.

Luckily for Mostafa, yet again, prosecutors did not dispute that the items were for a "hunting and fishing trip" and he was given a 56 day prison sentence, suspended for two years.

A British chemist who was twice cleared in the UK of plotting explosions has been arrested by anti-terrorist police in Bangladesh, after a raid on an orphanage which officers say was used as a training camp for Islamist militants.

Faisal Mostafa, 45, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, is understood to have been arrested at Dhaka airport yesterday. Four other people, including a teacher and three caretakers were arrested earlier, after the raid on the Green Crescent madrasa and orphanage on the remote southern island of Bhola. Small arms, ammunition, remote control devices and army uniforms were among the items recovered during the raid.

Bangladeshi locals told the officers the madrasa, or Islamic seminary, was a British charity financed by Mostafa, who they said had lived in Britain for 25 years. It has emerged that Mostafa, who is married with three children, was given a suspended sentence for trying to board a aeroplane at Manchester airport last November with a a gas-powered pistol in his suitcase.

In 2002, Mostafa was cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions, after a surveillance operation in Birmingham in 2000.

The Charity Commission said it was "seriously concerned" after the weapons cache was allegedly found during the raid. Andrew Hind, the chief executive of the commission, said: "We are working with relevant law enforcement and other agencies to investigate the allegation that terrorist activity is connected with the charity.

"The matter is of serious concern to us, and we are taking this action given the gravity of the matter, the public interest and the need to protect charity work and funds. We intend, as is normal procedure, to publish a statement of the results of the inquiry setting out our findings once the inquiry is completed."

As well as being acquitted of the 2002 charges, Mostafa was cleared during a trial 13 years ago of conspiring to cause explosions.

Green Crescent's website showed it was involved in projects in Bhola as well as several others around Bangladesh, and at least one in Pakistan. Students in Britain and Bangladesh founded the British-registered charity in 1998, the site says.

KM Mamunur Rashid, an officer involved in the raid, said the charity had plans to build two more madrasas, although there were no details on the charity's website. "It is a big madrasa and we have so far gathered that this whole compound is being used for militant training," he said.

Bangladeshi media reported that security forces believed the compound was used by Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh(JMB), a banned militant group.

Bangladesh, home to 154 million people, has the world's fourth-largest Muslim population, after Indonesia, India and Pakistan.

The authorities have long viewed madrasas as potential recruiting grounds for militant groups such as JMB, which was blamed for a series of bomb attacks in the country in August 2005.

More than 70 people were killed last month, including at least 57 senior army officers, in the revolt at the headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles in Dhaka, the capital. Last week, police said suspected Islamist militants had threatened the principals of several English-language schools if they did not pay "tolls".

A spokesman from the UK counter-terrorism thinktank the Quilliam Foundation added: "If the Green Crescent charity has indeed been involved in militant activity, this will reflect very poorly on the Charity Commission, particularly given that Mostafa, the head of the charity, had previously been put on trial twice for terrorist offences. Ineffectiveness by the commission in identifying and tackling extremist charities leads to the British taxpayer directly subsiding militancy and extremism."

But a commission spokesman said the reported activities said to be run under the auspices of UK charity Green Crescent Bangladesh UK raise very serious concerns.

Quote:

"reflect very poorly on the Charity Commission ?"

Counterrorism thinktank ? Are you sure ? I assumed that they would at least be capable of, erm, thinking ...

Quote:

"Ineffectiveness by the commission in identifying and tackling extremist charities leads to the British taxpayer directly subsiding militancy and extremism."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry ...

The fact that Mostafa has a get out of jail card and is free to roam the globe, doing his "stuff", according to "the thinkers" at Quilliam, is all down to the Charity Commission ...

No. It's funny. In fact it's hilarious...

My son is innocent, says father of Briton held on terror charges in Bangladesh

Family shock as Faisal Mostafa, head of Green Crescent charity, held after police raid on orphanage

The father of a British chemist arrested in Bangladesh on terror charges after a raid on an orphanage has protested his son's innocence.

Faisal Mostafa, 45, from Heaton Mersey, near Stockport, Greater Manchester was arrested after a police raid on the remote southern island of Bhola on Monday.

It has since emerged that Mostafa, who is married with three children, was given a two-year suspended sentence for trying to board an Emirates plane at Manchester airport last November with a pistol in his suitcase.

In 2002, he was cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions, a surveillance operation in Birmingham in 2000. He was cleared of another terrorist offence – conspiracy to carry out explosions – in 1996.

But Mostafa's father Ghulam, 73, a retired accountant, said he was innocent.

"He runs a small orphanage for children aged eight to 11 and a medical centre and he is not a terrorist," he said.

"The equipment they found is not for bomb-making. He's a hunter and has a licensed gun. The cartridges are expensive and he makes his own." He said Faisal had been accused of being a terrorist in the past and had been cleared of all charges by British courts.

Faisal Mostafa, who has a PhD in chemistry, is the head of the Green Crescent charity, set up by students in 1998 to carry out humanitarian work in Bangladesh.

According to his father, he travels to Bangladesh once a year to check on the workings of the orphanage.

"He has high blood pressure and a heart problem and I'm worried and so are his wife and children. I'm scared he will not get fair treatment and that is my greatest concern," he said.

Ghulam Mostafa criticised the British high commission in Dhaka, who initially denied that Faisal had been arrested. "He has dual nationality and the British high commission has told me they can't help," he added. "If he was here I would not be as worried because I know he would get a fair hearing."

His son was "a nice, hard-working boy" who had "set out to help the poor people of Bangladesh after seeing terrible suffering when he lived there as a child."

In Bangladesh, the Rapid Action Battalion said it had arrested four people, including a teacher and three caretakers. It is believed that Mostafa was arrested at Dhaka airport.

Small arms, ammunition, remote control devices and army uniforms were among the items police said they had recovered during the raid.

Mostafa's uncle, Major Haffizuddin Ahmed, a former minister for the Bangladesh Nation party, expressed his shock at the arrest.

"I felt terrible when I saw what had happened. I'm a political figure, and we feel bad that it's a family boy," he said in Dhaka. "We all asked, how could he get spoiled like this? He was a nice, good boy when he was young." Ahmed said he had not spoken to his nephew for five years.

An RAB officer, who declined to be named, said they acted on a tip-off. The raid was carried out after the madrasa, or religious seminary, had been kept under surveillance for a month.

"We watched the madrasa for a month. It looked suspicious because there were people coming and going at all times, late at night, and in madrasas, they don't allow parents to visit all the time so we knew it wasn't the mums and dads.

"We also thought it was strange that this madrasa was in such a nice area." He said they noticed it had a drawbridge that gets lifted up at night "and no other school has this kind of set-up".

A spokeswoman for the British high commissioner said: "We are aware of the report and we are working with the Bangladeshi government."

The Charity Commission said it was "seriously concerned" after the weapons cache was allegedly found during the raid. Andrew Hind, the commission's chief executive, said: "We are working with relevant law enforcement and other agencies to investigate the allegation that terrorist activity is connected with the charity."

Green Crescent's website showed that it was involved in projects in Bhola as well as several others around Bangladesh, and at least one in Pakistan.

Bangladesh arrests charity head behind school

By Parveen Ahmed, Associated Press

Monday, 6 April 2009

Police detained the head of a British-based charity today that funded an Islamic school in southern Bangladesh where authorities seized weapons and explosives, an official said.

Faisal Mustafa — who runs the London-based Green Crescent charity — was held for questioning along with an aide, said A.K. Azad, a spokesman for the Rapid Action Battalion, a special anti-crime force.

Mustafa's family earlier told local media he had been missing since 26 March, two days after police raided the Green Crescent Madrassah and Orphanage, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital of Dhaka.

Police found a large cache of guns, bullets and bomb-making materials as well as books on jihad, or holy war, at the school and arrested four employees, including a religious teacher, said Mamunur Rashid, an officer who led last month's raid.

The school, which also houses orphans, was opened a few months ago in a remote area of the coastal district with funds from the Green Crescent charity, Rashid said.

Police suspect the school has links to banned militant groups, which want to establish strict Islamic rule in this Muslim-majority nation governed by secular laws.

An email and a telephone message left with the Green Crescent's British office were not immediately returned.

Britain's charity watchdog, the Charity Commission, said the group's bank account had temporarily been frozen pending the outcome of the commission's investigation into its activities.

Green Crescent describes itself as being devoted to helping "youth from poor ethnic backgrounds ... build confidence and responsibility by sports and social events."

The group, based near Manchester in northwest England, raised more than £60,000 last year, according to figures published on the Charity Commission's website.

Bangladesh has seen a spate of bomb attacks by Islamic radicals at political rallies, courts and cultural venues in recent years.

Last month, Finance Minister A.M.A. Muhith said authorities were examining the activities and sources of funding of some Islamic charities that were approved by the previous alliance government, which included two Islamic parties.

Luckily, again, for Dr Mostafa, he was bailed out by the Foreign Office, after being charged in Bangladesh, because they were "concerned about his health" and subsequently brought back to the UK, because the FO were, get this, concerned about him being tortured.

A British terror suspect accused of running an al-Qaeda training camp abroad is back in the UK after the Government HELPED him return home.

Dr Faisal Mostafa, who has twice been acquitted of bomb plots in the UK and found guilty of two arms charges, has praised the Foreign Office for their part in securing his release from Bangladesh.

He was arrested in March last year when Bangladeshi commandos raided a remote islamist school, or madrassa, run by his UK-registered charity Green Crescent.

They claimed it was a terror training camp after recovering jihadi literature linked to al-Qaeda, ammunition, remote control devices and army uniforms.

Dr Mostafa, 46, who is said to be a chemical expert, was held in custody but released on bail in February for treatment for renal failure.

The Foreign Office then lobbied for his repatriation on health grounds amid claims he was tortured, and he returned home last month.

Last week he appeared relaxed as he went shopping with his wife in Manchester.

When confronted outside his family's £300,000 home in the affluent Heaton Mersey suburb of Stockport, Dr Mostafa insisted he had done nothing wrong - and thanked the Government for getting him back.

"I'd like to thank the British authorities who have been very helpful and nice," he said. "My arrest was politically motivated and part of the war against Islam."

Dr Mostafa, a father of three, has been linked to a series of terrorist related offences in the last 14 years. In 1996 he was acquitted of planning to cause explosions with other Manchester University students, but found guilty of illegally possessing a firearm bought from a gangster in Moss Side and jailed for four years.

In 2000 he was charged with fellow Bangladeshi Moinul Abedin of planning to cause explosions after police in Birmingham recovered a large cache of chemicals and detonators. He was cleared when it was accepted he was planning to open a fireworks shop but Abedin was jailed for 20 years.

In 2008 Dr Mostafa was given a two-year suspended jail sentence and 100 hours' community service for trying to board a Bangladesh-bound plane at Manchester with a pistol and bullet parts in his suitcase.

Belief. Beggared.

Now, if you still think that Operation Large was an "organic" case of terrorism, "homegrown" or otherwise, then I'm inclined to agree.

Organic as in nurtured and cultivated by Mi5 and homegrown, as in, nurtured and cultivated by Mi5, with the dodgy Doctor being the central character who gets a free pass everywhere he goes and gets flown home using our money, by the Foreign Office cell, because they have a sudden attack of "torture sensitivity", so he can carry on shopping...

It is illegal to commission, prepare, encourage and facilitate terrorism.

And they have the nerve to refer to this as the "UK's first Al Q case" ....

One can only wonder as to what other cases the dodgy chemist may have been involved in ...

The date given for Dhiren Barot allegedly "initiating the Prudential targeting package" is 2.9.2001

and therefore also, to Jonathan Evans' first day on the job as DG of Mi5 on 1st or 2nd September 2001 :

From the Madrid Peace Conference on 1.11.1991 to Jonathan Evans' 1st day on the job, normal date duration if it was 1.9.2001 and an interval if it was 2.9.2001 and therefore the same to the Dhiren Barot Prudential fairytale is:

From the Oslo Peace Accords being signed on 13.9.1993 to Jonathan Evans' 1st day on the job, inclusive if it was 1.9.2001, or normal date duration if it was 2.9.2001 - the same day that it was alleged by the story tellers that Dhiren Barot initiated the "Prudential targeting package" which is quite probably code speak for Jonathan Evans starting work as DG of Mi5, is:

... the province is named after the world famous Salahaddin, a Tikrit native who founded the Ayyubid Dynasty. He is famous for defeating the Crusaders in Jerusalem and his longstanding rivalry with Richard the Lionheart.

The bombing of the Askari mosque was a highly professional operation that required many hours of preparation. According to the new Iraqi Construction Minister, demolition charges had been placed within the four supporting stone pillars. Cores had to be drilled into the pillars, which would have taken at least four hours to complete. We are expected to believe this was the work of fundamentalist Sunni insurgents, who managed to perform this task without arousing suspicion or attracting attention. In fact, eyewitnesses claimed the bombing had been carried out by gunmen wearing Police Commando uniforms.

It is one of the most important Shī‘ah mosques in the world, built in 944.

Its dome was destroyed in a bombing by Sunni extremists in February 2006 and its two remaining minarets were destroyed in another bombing in June 2007, causing widespread anger amongst Shī‘ah Muslims.

The remaining clock tower was also destroyed in July 2007.[citation needed]

The remains of the 10th and 11th Shī‘ah Imāms, ‘Alī al-Hādī ("an-Naqī") and his son Hasan al-‘Askarī, known as: al-‘Askariyyain ("the two ‘Askarīs"), rest at the shrine. Also buried within the Mosque are: Hakimah Khātūn, sister of ‘Alī al-Hādī; and Narjis Khātūn, the mother of Muħammad al-Mahdī. Adjacent to this shrine is another mosque, built over the location where the Twelfth or "Hidden" Imām, Muħammad al-Mahdī first entered the Minor Occultation.

The ‘Askariyya Shrine is also known as the "Tomb or Mausoleum of the Two Imāms", "the Tomb of Imāms ‘Alī al-Hādī and Hasan al-‘Askarī" and "al-Hadhratu l-‘Askariyya".

Time magazine reported at the time of the 2006 bombing that:

al-Askari [is] one of Shi'ite Islam's holiest sites, exceeded in veneration only by the shrines of Najaf and Karbala. Even Samarra's Sunnis hold al-Askari in high esteem. The expression 'to swear by the shrine' is routinely used by both communities".

Several men, one wearing military uniforms, had earlier entered the mosque, tied up the guards there and set explosives, resulting in the blast. Two bombs were set off by five to seven men dressed as personnel of the Iraqi special forces who entered the shrine during the morning.

At around 9 a.m. on June 13, 2007, insurgents destroyed the two remaining ten-story tall golden minarets flanking the ruins of the dome of the Al-Askari Mosque. The mosque compound and minarets had been closed since the 2006 bombing and no fatalities were reported. Iraqi police reported hearing "two nearly simultaneous explosions coming from inside the mosque compound at around 9 a.m." Local residents reported blasts that shook the city and sent a cloud of dust into the air.

While it has been stated that "the collapse of the two minarets appeared to have been caused by explosive charges placed at their bases", different reports have caused some confusion as to whether bombs were actually used. A release from state run Iraqia Television stated that "local officials said that two mortar rounds were fired at the two minarets", in addition "a government spokesman claimed the minarets were hit by rockets".

Note: "Insurgents" is a Wiki word- not mine.

Now, I wonder who would want to dress up in Iraqi military uniforms and destroy an ancient, holy Mosque, revered by Shī‘ah and Sunni alike and sign it with some pathetic numerology, "projecting" it back to the psyop Jihad ?

From the Jihad on 23.8.1996 to the first bombing of the al-Askari Mosque on 22.2.2006 is:

From the Madrid Peace Conference on 1.11.1991 to Jonathan Evans "initiating Mi5's targeting package" of Moinul Abedin in his Operation Large case and thereby, initiating "Britain's first Al Q case" on 9.11.2000 - the same day that Cressida Dick was promoted to Commander, is:

From the Madrid Peace Conference on 1.11.1991 to Mi5's man, Dr Faisal Mostafa "initiating" the Google Groups "explosives" message to provide the (not so very loudly) publicly stated reason for Operation Large starting on 15.8.1997 is an interval of:

The post on the Roshanara Choudhry"the lone knife woman" ™ and the "internet radicalisation" and "politician assassination script, has been updated with lots more information, incorporating 119s on an unimaginable scale ™ and this:

You may recall the previous time a Member of Parliament was attacked in his constituency surgery with a bladed weapon, when, sadly, Nigel Jones' assistant, Andrew Pennington died, when he stepped in to help his MP, during the attack by Robert Ashman with a Samurai sword on 28.1.2000.

From the attack on Andrew Pennington and Nigel Jones, MP, on 28.1.2000 to Roshonara Choudhry being "tuned in, turned on and dropping out" of college on 27.4.2010 is an interval of:

Diana Spencer was born in the late afternoon on 1 July 1961, in Sandringham, Norfolk.

From Diana Spencer's birth on 1.7.1961 to her death in the early hours of 31.8.1997, is = 13210 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date.

Note the margin of error in the displayed results of the date calculator.

The date calculator always counts the first day as day 1, so, if Diana had lived beyond the hour of her birth on the day of 31.8.1997 it would indeed be 13210 days, as 31.8.1997 was the 13210 th day of her life, but that number of complete days would only have been reached, whenever "late afternoon" was on the 1.7.1961.

In full days, therefore, Diana's life can be measured as 13209 full calendar days, or, had seen the sun rise and set, 13209 times.

Operation Guava followed on from what someone at the BBC described as the "fruitless" Operation Aragorn raids, planned and executed, with a-plum, by Staffordshire Police and West Midlands "Counter" Terrorism Unit = Mi5 in the Midlands = WMCTU.

Just to be clear, the word "Counter" in the phrase, "Counter Terrorism", is supposed to mean that that their taxpayer funded efforts are focussed on "countering" terrorism and not fabricating terrorism, or dramas that might look and sound like terrorism to those that have their ears and eyes closed, where no actual terrorism actually exists.

Just to be clear.

From the original post made at the time of the Op Guava arrests on 20.12.2010, it is clear that the Op Guava arrests in the UK Landmarks Plot were made after an interval of 911 weeks from the USA's NYC Landmarks Phantom Plot that never was, target date of 4.7.1993.

The phantom "NYC Landmarks Plot" alleged target date of 4.7.1993 was the 1782 nd day of the root event for the DHWAV-UK root date, - that being, Bush-41's 1000 Points of Light speech on 18.8.1988.

Note: None of these allegations have been tested in court, so, they remain exactly that. Allegations. They could have told us that Father Christmas was a "target" and the Duncan Gardhams and Vikram Dodds of the media world would have printed it.

I wonder how much this "operation" cost at the second bite of the ridiculous and incredible cherry, sorry Guava ...

Low hanging fruit ? Inspiring stuff indeed ...

Palace of Westminster

Westminster Abbey

Big Ben - see here for why Big Ben pops up so often whenever some targeted Muslim chaps go sightseeing in London.

It seems that the data for Boris' new house purchase in Colebrooke Row, London N1, reported as being completed variously between April and June 2009 for £2.3 million, is not included in the publicly available, t'interwebs extractions from the Land Registry's dataset, which funnily enough, is also called INSPIRE, so we have no way of knowing the possible root date for the "home address" target claim ...

There's one chance of finding it and that would be to know the door number, which I don't, so a bit of a cul-de-sac.

Dean of St Pauls Cathedral

At the time, the Dean of St Pauls was Graeme Knowles, who was "installed" as Dean on 1.10.2007 after Letters Patent were issued on 20.9.2001 (the day before DAC Peter Clarke announced his retirement)

WMCTU's first success was their first case, Operation Gamble, the UK beheading plot. The guilty pleas of Parviz Khan & co, except one other, in that case, were secured on 29.1.2008

I assume that the 11th hour, Op Guava volte-face guilty pleas were entered on the day that we all found out about them. It might be likely that were entered the day before for example and the finale on 1.2.2012 was the sentencing hearing - I don't know.

This relationship is quite special as it comprises all of the "low order" 119 variants, as follows:

From the Op Gamble guilty pleas on 29.1.2008 to the Goodyear "guilty pleas" on 1.2.2012 is an interval of: = 1463 days

The exercise smacks of the pernicious influence of the 'IN35' indicator, established by Government as part of rolling out its 'Preventing Violent Extremism programme'. IN35 is supposed to be a quantitative measure of 'resilience' to so-called violent extremism! Some local authorities have resented to this reporting requirement, because it makes them an arm of the police or of the security services (e.g. refuse collection workers checking bins for incriminating material). However clearly, some Councils are more willing to oblige?

That's not the violent extremism of the police kicking your door in for no apparent reason, because that's the police just doing their job, INSPIRED by the spooks at WMCTU, [ssh it's secret] who are, after all, only doing their job, PREVENTING the violent extremisim of handing out a few leaflets that they already know about.

Just to be clear.

The Telegraph - 2.7.2008 - "The investigation, called Operation Aragorn, has been going on since last year"

And finally "closed" with no "low hanging fruit" in the judicial basket, on 25.2.2010.

Hmmm. £83k - I think not.

Alleged "meetings"

Quote:

Quote:

...

Chowdhury and Rahman had visited London landmarks including the London Eye and Westminster Abbey after a meeting with Miah and Desai on 28 November 2010.

...

Omar Latif, 28, from Cardiff, admitted assisting others to engage in preparation for acts of terrorism by travelling to and attending meetings on 7 November and 12 December 2010 ...

Usman Khan, 20, of Persia Walk, Mohammed Shahjahan 27, of Burmarsh Walk, and Nazam Hussain, 26, of Grove Street, all Stoke, admitted engaging in the preparation of terrorism by attending operational meetings in Roath Park, Cardiff, on November 7 and in a Newport country park on December 12. Omar Latif, 28, of Neville Street, Cardiff, admitted attending the meetings with the intention of assisting others to prepare or commit acts of terrorism. The fourth Stoke defendant, Mohibur Rahman, admitted possessing an article for a terrorist purpose on December 20, 2010.

The Camp Chapman attack was a suicide attack against Forward Operating Base Chapman, a key facility of the Central Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan, on December 30, 2009. The base is located near the eastern Afghan city of Khost, in a stronghold of the Taliban movement. One of the main tasks of the CIA operatives stationed at the base was to provide information for drone attacks against targets in Pakistan. Seven CIA operatives, including the chief of the base, and an officer of Jordan's General Intelligence Directorate were killed, and six others were seriously wounded when the attacker detonated a bomb he was carrying. The bombing was the most lethal attack against the CIA in more than 25 years. Only the 1983 United States embassy bombing surpasses the Chapman attack in number of CIA officers killed.[1]

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, and western intelligence officials identified the attacker as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a Jordanian doctor. While the CIA thought that al-Balawi would be an important informant who could help the intelligence agency to capture top leaders of the Taliban and al-Qaeda, he actually was loyal to insurgents fighting against the U.S.-led military forces in Afghanistan. The attack took place as the CIA expanded its role in the Afghanistan War, increasing paramilitary operations, including drone attacks in Pakistan, and building a number of bases in the southern and eastern provinces of Afghanistan.

The U.S. then requested that Pakistan arrest and extradite an insurgency leader, and intensified drone attacks in the northern area of Pakistan. The U.S. military then issued new security guidances to its bases in Afghanistan. The CIA and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the attack. U.S. President Barack Obama praised the CIA officers who died in the bombing, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack. All seven of the operatives killed in the attack were memorialized with a star on the agency's Memorial Wall at its headquarters.[2]

Quote:

However, it remained unclear why the attacker was not searched, as would be standard protocol even for visiting dignitaries, and why so many people were present for the debriefing.

Quote:

[Camp Chapman is]...one of the most secretive and highly guarded locations in Afghanistan and a major hub of the [CIA's] Special Activities Division.

No extra points given for realising that the CIA's Jihad is also rooted in the CIA murders in the Beirut event too:

From the CIA mass murder in Beirut on 18.4.1983 to the CIA's Jihad on 23.8.1996 is: = 4877 days = PP119 days > 119 > 77

That "Osama Bin Laden" certainly knew what he was doing, didn't he ...

Hence: Camp Chapman "Attack" = False Flag event.

Or, alternatively, maybe the mythical Al Q have the codes too ....

I'm guessing that the "orders" to be at the meeting did not emanate from the myriad factions that have since claimed responsibility ... including my local Cub Scouts, sources inside my head said ...

So I wonder who wanted all those CIA chaps out of the way, including, the Camp Chapman CIA Base Chief, and the CIA's 9/11 patsy, Jennifer Lynne Matthews ...and had the "nous" to root it so perfectly with PP119's to both the last CIA mass murders in Beirut 26 years earlier and the psyop Jihad ....

Quote:

The locale was chosen in part because the base commander, Jennifer Lynne Matthews, was considered a “world-class expert on al-Qaeda and counterterrorism operations,” who spent nearly 20 years in the CIA. She had been part of Alec Station, the CIA’s bin Laden unit, back in the 1990s. After 9/11, she was “integrally involved in all of the CIA’s rendition operations,” according to an intelligence source. For instance, she managed the operation that located and captured Abu Zubaida in 2002. From 2005 to 2009, she was the chief of the counterterrorism branch in London, and had a key role in breaking up a 2006 al-Qaeda plot to blow up airplanes. Then she volunteered to work in Afghanistan.

Robert Baer, an ex–CIA case officer who served in the Middle East, says assigning an analyst to the base-chief job is like putting a hospital administrator in charge of surgery. “We all bite off things we shouldn’t,” Baer says. “Matthews shouldn’t have been there. She didn’t speak the language. She didn’t know the country.”

So, all you've got to do is to find out who blamed Jennifer Lynne Matthews for the CIA's "failings" vis 9/11, how come she ended up in Khost and who ordered them all to be at that meeting and how come they all ended up greeting the car bomb, I mean suicide bomber, erm, by the car ...

Once you've done that ... you've found the head of "Al Qaeda" ...

Simples.

Makes me wonder about all of these so called "spooks". Real world experience shows that they're all expendable and half of them don't even seem to be aware of which particular faction of the CIA or other three letter agency they're "really" working for.

Hardly the nuanced "intelligence" you'd want in an "intelligence" outfit now is it.

No, not the Zionist claptrap about the "event" at Mike's Place in Tel Aviv on 30.4.2003, reinforced by the similarly titled BiBiC programme, broadcast on 11.7.2006 - more about that little affair later.

This documentary explores the 7/7 cold case via new evidence from the recent inquests and discusses the war on terror in the context of numerous miscarriages of justice and acts of violence committed by the state. The first section of the film examines the history of the British state’s use of double agents, from the Victorian Anarchists through WW2 to the war in Northern Ireland. It concludes by examining contemporary cases of injustice and violence carried out as part of the war of terror against Muslims.

The second section of the film is a multi-dimensional study of the new evidence made available at the recent inquests. It looks at the evidence of a wider conspiracy and the fundamental flaws in the official narrative and the police investigation. It also discusses why the dialogue about ‘intelligence failures’ itself fails to address the very real possibility of state involvement in the attacks.

The final section of the film returns to the Anarchists and the case of Martial Bourdin, Britain’s first suicide bomber, in 1894. The mythology surrounding Bourdin is used as a foundation for examining the numerous films, tv shows training exercises and real life events that either predicted 7/7 or were influenced by the attacks. The question of conspiracy theories is addressed through an original analysis unique to this film.

7/7 Crime and Prejudice combines a presentation of the cutting edge of July 7th research with a deeply contextual analysis that casts light on largely unexamined aspects of the war on terror.

The incident remains as the only anarchist inspired attack in Britain during the period and it became famous due to the author Joseph Conrad in his 1907 book The Secret Agent. In this book the evil mastermind 'The Professor' plans an attack on the Greenwich Observatory which ends in a bomber being 'blown to pieces' by his own bomb when he trips and falls in Greenwich Park.

The story further inspired Alfred Hitchcock in his film Sabotage (1936).

In this film the innocent dupe who carries the bomb dies when the bus that he is travelling in explodes on the Strand:

a strange pre-figuring of the real event in early 1996 when an IRA bomber blew himself up in a bus just off The Strand.

The explosion comes just nine days after the IRA ended its ceasefire with a bombing in the Docklands area of London, which killed two people.

Scotland Yard says it received no warning of the explosion which happened at 2238GMT.

(2238 = 2 x 1119)

Unusual for the "IRA" not to give a warning...

And the police knew by the next day that it was an "accidental detonation" ...

From Hitchcocks, Sabotage, Strand bus bomb art imitiating Conrad's Secret Agent art, imitating Bourdin's reality, being released in the UK on 2.12.1936 to reality imitating reality based art, with the, ahem, "IRA", bus bomb in the Strand on 18.2.1996 is an interval of:
